Chapter 241 Liuli's Touch

As soon as Rongqiu and Duzi finished their conversation, they hurried home.

They were full of worries, afraid that Juanjuan could not handle Liuli alone, and also worried that some sudden danger would occur at home.

"Rongqiu, ever since Liuli came, I haven't felt at ease. Sigh, so this is what it feels like to have a female around. It's not relaxing at all. No wonder Qian Jingyao was always so worried when he saw Keke going out with us."

Duzi looked at the blood-red sunset in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

The ball of fluff shared the same sentiment and nodded in response:

"Indeed, I used to think Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan hated me. Now I understand that it's because we were too naughty and always running around with Xia Yueke. If someone wanted to take Liuli out now, I would definitely be worried!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Duzi continued, "You must treat Coco well in the future and never let her get hurt. Before, I was afraid that if I told her about our feelings for Liuli, she would teach us a lesson and call us perverts, hehe." Thinking of this, Duzi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Rongqiu patted Duzi's shoulder and said seriously, "You're not the only one who thinks so. I think so too!"

The two talked all the way and soon arrived at their own yard.

Juanjuan had already prepared the food and was waiting for them to come back. Liuli sat obediently on her stool, staring at the door without blinking, obviously expecting something.

Seeing Rongqiu and Duzi appear at the corner, Liuli immediately smiled widely. However, tears flashed in her red eyes, and she said in a sobbing voice:

"Rongqiu, Duzi, where did you go? I thought you didn't want me anymore... wuwuwu..."

As it turned out, Liuli had woken up this morning to find Duzi and the others missing. She ran to ask Juanjuan, but Juanjuan hesitated and refused to tell the truth. Liuli panicked, thinking they thought she was a burden and were planning to sneak away without her. After all, she had seen them pack their luggage, so they must be trying to slip away when she wasn't paying attention.

Even though Juanjuan repeatedly explained that it was not the case, Liuli was still worried.

Juanjuan wiped her sweat helplessly, blaming Rongqiu in her heart. It was all because he said he wanted to give Liuli a surprise. Now, Liuli thought they were going to abandon her.

Just now, he had spent a lot of effort to coax Liuli into a good mood, telling her that Rongqiu and the others would be back soon and asked her to wait a little longer. Then, he went to cook without stopping, busy like a tired dog.

Rongqiu didn't expect Liuli to be so worried about them. He felt happy and distressed. He picked Liuli up and gently pinched her red nose, saying:

"Okay, Liuli, we are back, why are you still crying? Juanjuan, how do you take care of her?" Rongqiu suspected that Juanjuan must have been lazy and maybe even bullied Liuli.

When Juanjuan heard this, she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Rongqiu, saying angrily: "What else can I say! It's all your fault. You insisted on planning a surprise and didn't tell her the truth. You made Liuli think that you despised her and wanted to run away in the middle of the night!"

The ball of fluff cleared his throat awkwardly and said to Liuli, "Liuli, didn't we tell you that we would never abandon you? Our Liuli is so adorable, who would be willing to abandon you?"

Liuli blushed when she heard this, and buried her face in the ball's clothes in embarrassment, muttering in a muffled voice:

"But I can't help at all now. I'm like a freeloader. I... I'm scared..."

Duzi felt extremely distressed, holding Liuli's face in his hands, and said softly:

"Hey, Liuli, don't let your imagination run wild. We're just going to tell Coco that we're going to the western forest to cause trouble for the stray beasts and avenge our strays!"

Liuli was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? You want to... avenge me?! But... that's too dangerous. I will take revenge on my own later. I'm already very grateful to you for taking me in, I..."

Liuli was speechless for a moment. She wondered if she had heard it wrong. How could an orc be willing to take such a big risk to seek revenge just because he had known a female for a month?

Duzi looked at Liuli's stunned expression, grinned, revealing two cute little canine teeth, and said:

"Liuli, don't worry. This is a decision we made willingly. You don't have to do anything. Just be happy every day!"

Liuli burst into tears and choked up, saying, "It's too dangerous. There are so many of them... I can't lose you again, and I don't want you to take any risks..."

Juanjuan came over with a smile, rubbed Liuli's soft face with her hands, and said:

"We've been prepared for this! Once we eliminate those stray beasts, you'll be able to sleep peacefully at night and won't be woken by nightmares anymore."

Liuli didn't expect that every time she woke up crying from a nightmare in the middle of the night, they saw it and wanted to avenge her for it.

"But……"

"Don't worry, Coco and the others will be going with us. Coco said that we should go to the Misty Forest to improve our strength first, and then go and settle the score with the stray beasts!"

When Liuli heard this, she felt even more guilty. Even Sister Yue Ke was so concerned about helping her get revenge.

But there are more than ten or twenty stray orcs, which is too dangerous... Although she knows that Sister Yue Ke's companions are all very powerful, she is still worried.

"But don't be anxious. We have to wait for a while before we set off. We have to go to the Misty Forest before we set off. You have to be patient!" Rongqiu gently touched the back of Liuli's head and said with a smile.

Liuli didn't care when to set off. She had originally just set a goal for herself to survive, but she didn't expect Duzi and the others to care about her so much.

"I'm not in a hurry. As long as you can improve your strength and protect yourself safely, that's enough." Liuli looked at Rongqiu with a worried look on her face.

The ball of fluff laughed, feeling sweet inside, and said, "Don't worry, we will be fine!"

After they finished talking, they sat together and started eating.

On the other side, after Duzi and Rongqiu left, Xia Yueke turned around and asked Qian Jingyao and Qingyan for their opinions.

"Yaoyao, what do you think? We're pretty free lately anyway, why don't we go out for a walk and do some good deeds?"

Qian Jingyao, who had just returned from hunting, nodded and said, "Okay, I see you really haven't had much to do lately. This time, we can let you go out and deal with the monsters alone, and we will be on guard nearby. It will definitely be safer than when Qi'an took you there before."

Luo Cihe, who was sitting aside, drinking tea quietly and elegantly, felt as if his sore spot had been touched when he heard this, but he had no way to refute it.

It was he and Qi'an who were too arrogant at the time. They didn't carefully check for any dangers and allowed Keke to train in such a dangerous place. Fortunately, Qian Jingyao acted decisively and rushed to save her. Otherwise, if something happened to Xia Yuke, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Luo Cihe touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Okay, it's all in the past. Fortunately, our Xiaoyue is safe and sound."

Whenever Xia Yueke thought about the days she and Qi'an spent in the Dark Valley, she felt that she was extremely unlucky.

Forget it, forget it, let’s not think about it. She never wants to go to that place in the Misty Forest again, so she must avoid it this time.

"Qingyan, what do you think?"

Qing Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xia Yueke to ask for his opinion. He quickly said, "As long as I can be with Yueke, I agree to anything!"

Xia Yueke clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Okay, unanimous approval! Once the shelter is built, we'll set off!"

Xia Yueke was quite looking forward to seeing what the cub shelter would look like, so she was not in a hurry to leave.
